The Spoon Drawer

If you have had the privilege of visiting Brighton and its many idyllic eating spots, then you’ll know we are certainly spoilt down here on the south coast.  The mass of quirky and delicious corner cafes does mean that the competition is incredibly high. More often than not these trendy cafes have a very short life span, making it increasingly difficult to fall in love with one knowing it may disappear come next year. However, saying that it hasn’t stopped me falling for these two remarkable Sunday morning spots. My go to café picks for curing dreaded hangovers, catching up with pals and gorging on pastries. I often dream about owning my own little coffee hotspot, I imagine endless days of reading and sipping local ground coffee. Living in Brighton certainly means that I am situated in the perfect location. My very own ‘spoon drawer’ fits with French café style shutters and freshly baked French pastries.   Marwoods Home to kickass coffee and life changing

Perhaps, somewhere beneath his grumpy exterior there’s a kind, conscientious father who doesn’t ruin Game of Thrones consistently over text every Monday morning. Perhaps not. That Sky Atlantic subscription was one father’s day mistake I won’t be repeating this time round. All joking aside - I spoil him. The unrequited gifting routine that occurs annually has been meticulously planned out this time around. As if devoting a blog post to him and my precious time writing it isn’t enough – I’ve got a route planned for a cracking bike ride across the downs and over to Devil’s Dyke pub . Up and over The Downs we’ll go, hopefully the weather will manage to hold out this year as it’s a gorgeous bike route this time of year. Quiet, scenic and relatively easy going both way
